Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 707 Strange

He could see clearly that it was the Dutch sailing warship that was coming to Naha.

Xiyi's sailing warships are the most capable at sea.Can one ship be lower than ten ships?If there are fifteen sailing warships here, it is equivalent to 150 warships, which is more than the number of warships in the Dawa Kingdom or the number of warships in the Ming Dynasty.

The most important reason why Munemo Yagyu laughed out loud was that the Tokugawa shogunate implemented a policy of closing the country and drove away all the other western barbarians, but left the Dutch behind.

The relationship between Japan and the Netherlands is not bad!Not to mention, the Netherlands also formed an alliance with the Qing Empire, that is, with the Great Japanese Kingdom.These fifteen new sailing warships are allies!
At this time, the sudden arrival of reinforcements sufficient to defeat the navy of the Ming Dynasty made Yagyu Somo, who thought the situation was over, happy.

Even at the moment when he laughed, he thought a lot.For example, after the Dutch sailing warships arrived, they not only cut off the logistical supplies of the Ming country's attack on the Wa country's local expeditionary force, but also harassed and even dragged the Ming country's expeditionary force to death.

The crisis of the Great Wa Kingdom is about to end!
Hehe, in retrospect, the Ming Kingdom must pay the price for this!

How dare you attack the mainland of Japan, just wait and see!
On the other side, Hu Mingfeng was also taken aback.

Among the western barbarians, Portugal has always listened to Ming. First, it sent warships to attack Luzon together, and then sent more warships. After the expeditionary force conquered the Ryukyu Kingdom, they went to attack the Japanese mainland.

As for the Dutch, they were Ming's enemies. They captured the Dutch city of Zeelandia from the east, and the enmity deepened.

Before, the commander had considered that the Japanese navy might attack Ryukyu, so he was asked to guard here, thinking that with his current strength, it would definitely be enough to deal with the Japanese navy.

However, the commander-in-chief did not expect that the Dutch navy came to Ryukyu so far away. The most important thing is that there are as many as fifteen ships!
At this moment, Hu Mingfeng immediately became nervous.He hurriedly ordered his warships to assemble, stop chasing the warships of the Japanese navy who were fleeing in all directions, and retreated all to Naha Port, relying on coastal fortifications for defense.

As for his flagship, one side of the wheel was entangled in debris and had not yet been repaired.We can only rely on the strength of the sail, and return to Naha Port first.

Hearing his command, Munemo Yagyu immediately smiled triumphantly and said in the official language of Ming Dynasty: "Don't make too much trouble. With your speed, if you don't have time to return to the port, you should surrender obediently!"

He wasn't threatening. He could judge the speed of the armored warship here and the speed of the Dutch sailing warship.

Originally, Hu Mingfeng was busy directing, but the Japanese prisoner laughed before, and he didn't have time to talk to him, but he said this again, Hu Mingfeng turned to stare at Liu Shengzong, and shouted coldly: "Hang him on the bow, let him Let him see if we are vegetarians!"

"Obey!" His subordinates immediately responded loudly, and then escorted Yagyu Somo to the bow.

"Hehe!" Liu Shengzong immediately turned back with a sneer as he walked, staring at Hu Mingfeng and said, "The dead duck is stubborn, I'll just watch how you are wiped out by the sailing warship!"

The soldiers of the Ming army who escorted him, seeing that he dared to be so stubborn, pushed him hard and almost made him crawl. Thanks to his strong basic skills, he didn't make a fool of himself.

Hu Mingfeng ignored the Japanese captive, looked up, and saw the Japanese warships that had fled in all directions, there were about [-] more ships, approaching the Dutch fleet.

Obviously, they are going to meet up and attack Naha Port together, right?
Although Hu Mingfeng didn't like the combat power of the Japanese warships, with the Dutch sailing warships as the main force, the combined fleet of these two countries is still a headache.

But so what if you have a headache, just hit it!Afraid of them a bird!
The other warships of the Ming army saw that the flagship returned very slowly and the smoke in the chimney stopped, so they knew that there must be something wrong, which caused the steam engine to lose power.

Of course they also noticed that the flagship might not be able to return to the port in time.As a result, the warships began to turn around one after another, trying to get closer to the flagship.

When Hu Mingfeng saw it, he immediately shouted: "Why don't I care what I am doing, and then send an order to return to the port immediately. The military supplies hoarded in Naha Port must not be lost! Even if I die, I will guard the port for me!"

He was afraid that his subordinates would not listen, so he personally asked for a banner and sent a signal to his subordinates.

Soon, although his warships stopped and did not continue to approach, they also sent a signal to the flagship.

Hu Mingfeng looked at the waving of those signal flags, smiled on his face, and then said loudly: "I have killed enough. I died in the battle, and I was just shrouded in horse leather. What are you afraid of? I have a role in the Zhonglie Hall. I will go and see it when I have time." Already!"

While speaking, he waved the signal flag again.

None of the soldiers on the side persuaded him, they all stood there, and no one spoke.

Yagyu Somo, who had been tied to the bow of the boat, turned his head to see this scene. He who wanted to laugh at him suddenly fell silent.

It is really rare for this famous general to regard the military supplies stored in the port more important than his own life, at least he has never seen such a case.

If there were many generals like this in the expeditionary force of the Ming Dynasty, this battle would be difficult to fight!

While he was thinking, suddenly, he heard a loud sound, which came from afar.

"Boom boom boom..."

When Liu Shengzong heard the sound, he quickly looked up.After seeing this, he was immediately dumbfounded!

I saw that the warships of the Great Japanese Kingdom had already approached the sailing warships of the Netherlands, but what the hell did the Dutch sailing warships do to bombard the Japanese warships? ? ?

Under the bombardment at such a close range, although the gunpowder smoke filled the air, the line of sight was not very clear.However, judging from what can be seen, most of the Japanese warships that approached the past were damaged by shelling!
If the artillery went off, at most one cannon went off. It is absolutely impossible for so many cannons to go off together!
Could it be that they are so blind that they can't even tell if they are friendly or not?

That's not enough, is it?

No matter how blind you are, it is impossible for everyone to be blind!

what is happening?
For a moment, Liu Shengzong was stunned there, motionless!

Apart from him, Hu Mingfeng and other Ming soldiers were also dumbfounded.

Seeing the bombardment of the Dutch sailing warships in the distance, the Japanese navy's warships were torn apart, which felt so unrealistic.

What's the matter?

I was dumbfounded, everyone was dumbfounded, including the Ming people at the port and the Ryukyu people, they were all dumbfounded too!

"Boom boom boom..."

Amidst the continuous shelling, the onlookers finally came to their senses one after another.

The scene in front of me can only explain one situation: that is, the Dutch are not standing with the Japanese country, but hostile to the Japanese country, and there is a great possibility that they are standing with Daming!
Thinking of this, Munemo Yagyu seemed to grow older all of a sudden, hanging on the bow of the boat, he muttered to himself: "How is it possible, how is it possible..."

Obviously, he couldn't accept this fact!In other words, he couldn't figure out why this happened?

On the contrary, Hu Mingfeng guessed a little bit.After all, when the city of Zeelandia was captured, all the Dutch were captured. Except for all their officers who were escorted to Beijing, the other ordinary Dutch were released.

After that, the Luzon Expeditionary Army established its prestige in Luzon again, killing all the Spaniards and local natives who dared to oppose the Ming people, which would definitely shock the Dutch in Nanyang.

Then, it is estimated that something happened, so that the Dutch finally took refuge in Ming Dynasty, which seems to be explainable.

While he was thinking, the sound of shelling in the distance had stopped.

When the gunpowder smoke dissipated, only a dozen or so warships of the Japanese kingdom were seen, but they had already lowered their sails and surrendered.

Also, on this sea, it is impossible for the Japanese warships to escape the pursuit of the sailing warships.If you can't beat it again and again, what else can you do besides surrender?
Afterwards, a sailing warship left the fleet and came towards the iron-clad warship where Hu Mingfeng was.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by this sailing warship, wondering what the Dutch wanted to do next?
It can be seen that the muzzle of this sailing warship has been covered again, and there is no intention to continue firing.

After getting closer, I lowered a few more sails, and the meaning became clearer. There is no intention of fighting, don't get me wrong!

Hu Mingfeng immediately picked up his binoculars and observed the warship coming towards him.After looking at it for a while, he suddenly put down the binoculars and said with a smile, "It's okay, it belongs to our Daming side."

Hearing his words, the guard beside him asked curiously, "My lord, why are you so sure?"

Hu Mingfeng pointed with his hand: "The captain of Jinyiwei is on the boat, what do you think? Haha!"

As soon as I heard that the captain of Jin Yiwei was on board the Dutch warship, it must be that Daming didn't run away!
The soldiers of the Ming army relaxed one by one.At the same time, I was still a little curious, and wanted to know what happened to the Dutchman?

Beaten?

Munemo Yagyu heard what they said, and although he said that at this time, he felt ashamed, but he was actually a little curious, why did the Dutch seek refuge in the Ming Kingdom?

After a while, it got so close that everyone could see clearly with their naked eyes that there were a group of Jinyiwei captains standing on the bow of the sailing warship.

"Tsk tsk, look, the flying fish suit is just beautiful!" Hu Mingfeng saw it, and immediately praised it with a smile.

He is a big man, and he would never say this before.But at this moment, he unconsciously praised the clothes for looking good.He himself didn't realize this.

The ship slowed and eventually the two ships slowly approached.Seeing that the captain of Jin Yiwei is in front and the Dutchman is behind, the status is clear at a glance.
